So this settles it: China did not raise the limit of radiation level near the nuclear plant (in order to continue operation). Only 5 nuclear rods leaked amount 60,000. The plant can be safely operated with 150 damaged fuel rods. The moral of the story: take anything from CNN with a huge pinch of salt.

Phew.
This is such a good news. Can't say I wasn't rattled a bit. A lot of people in twitter were either in celebration or readying up Chernobyl 2.0 crocodile tears or pearl-clutching.

I really don't like the location of the Taishan nuclear power plant. It lies smack right in the Guangdong Province.

Is there anyway for a nuclear power plant to be operated totally offline?
Cyber attacks on these facitilies can be a disaster

No. The moral of the story is that this French nuclear company should be kicked out from the country and/or have some executives jailed.

All nuclear-related things are a national security matter and this French company thought it was a great idea that it would go to the US and start talking about the state of the nuclear plant in China to its biggest enemy, the US.

^^This is the real scandal here. The matter should be investigated extensively to find out if the company had a legitimate cause of concern AND what it revealed to the US.

For CNN we all know what it is, Fake News

China would have known because France would've iterated about this arrangement with Americans regarding nuclear technology.

As long as American technology and IP goes into anything, US can find the ropes to control. No one stopped China from canceling the contract given to French.

But we must also remember that this contract might have been a product of a different decade - one where China was seen as a not-a-threat by US and China saw US as not-a-threat.

What's important is China to grow its own nuclear technology IP regarding Power generation.
